Pictures - sorry, I've got to show off

Last week was a whirlwind of activity. Ian and Gabe got their ear tubes last Friday. Things went reasonably well...unfortunately the are (and therefore Iam as well) struggling. Oh well, a girl can dream

Sunday was another big day...DD had her First Communion followed by Ian and Gabe's baptism. Here are some pics

Abby and Josh (who does NOT like getting his picture taken..or brushing his hair)
5-1 small.jpg
a pic from yesterday, since I don't have any decent ones for posting from Sunday
gabe sand small1.jpg
Gabe's first foray into the sandbox...Ian's scared of the sand (and the wind, and trees, and grass...)

Thanks for letting me share. My thoughts are with all of you in process.

The pictures are great. Congratulations on your daughters first communion and what little boy likes to brush his hair anyway!! Seems normal to me!!

The twins are adorable! They look like they just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar in that photo!

Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing pics of all of your kids. They are all so adorable. I really think your daughter looks like a princess in her 1st Communion dress. I remember picking mine out and wearing it so clearly still today.
